The economic base determines the superstructure, which is not necessarily true in China, at least at certain times it is the other way around.

How so?

Wealth is like a star-rated hotel blooming everywhere, luxuriously decorated and magnificent, but it will be obsolete after ten years; And power, like the Zhonghai and South China Seas on the edge of the Forbidden City, has been pestled there for hundreds of years, and will be pestled for hundreds of years.

However, this is true in the United States, and no matter how majestic the Capitol Hill and the White House are, and how powerful and invincible the US military is, this country is essentially a company. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Microsoft, Intel, Wal-Mart, General Motors, and Mobil are shareholders, and the principle of putting shareholders' interests first is the principle of the United States.

The company sells everything from culture, commerce, weapons, oil, gold, religion, and even morality, you name it. Its every trade, diplomacy, war, and legislation can be transformed into contracts, and the dollar is the most powerful commodity that binds countries to the throne of world domination and global domination. As for the invincible American GIs in the universe, they are strong thugs, and when the economic accounts show signs of loss, they will use violence to expand the market for the company and squeeze the market share of competitors.

The first paragraph is Li Jiaming's understanding, and the latter part about the United States is what his mentor said, when he went to the dean to ask for a promotion, Professor Spencer, a Nobel laureate in economics in '07, said.

"Ming, got it? With a market capitalization of $300 billion, more than half of the U.S. shareholdings, and nearly half of the U.S. employees, Hanhua is already a minority shareholder of this company. ”

Like a morning bell and a dusk drum, it rang loudly, shaking Li Jiaming's head.

Seeing that the confused guy finally understood, Professor Spencer nodded in satisfaction. The Justice Department's investigation into HH ended without a hitch, not because of their little trick of funding lawmakers, but because HH was contributing to the big company. With tens of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in taxes every year, even if someone tries to fix them, the White House and Capitol Hill will pull off the rails.

The dizzy Li Jiaming didn't have time to be promoted, so he went back to the office to digest the mentor's golden words. After going through everything, when he came back to his senses, he secretly scolded his mentor for being an old fox.

A radish has a pit, and if the radish is not pulled out, how can there be a suitable pit?

After going around in such a big circle, it was only the old man who was not able to put the head of the courtyard in mind, so he reminded himself that being the vice president was no different from being the head of the department, because he was already one of the shareholders of the United States of America, and his social status had surpassed that of anyone in the courtyard.

Since you can't be promoted, then go up.

Li Jiaming has a lot of affection for Stanford, but he can't resist the desire to climb the academic ladder, and he almost didn't hesitate to call Ms. Ross.

"E, I think that with my management and academic skills, I can also serve as the vice president of Sloan College, what do you think?"

The possibility that a former student might become his boss made Professor Ross, who was on the verge of promotion, a little difficult to accept, but he said without the slightest hesitation: "Miution, you can come here."

There was no problem, Li Jiaming packed up the papers on the desk, picked up his briefcase and went to the Hoover Institution. The university circle is so big, and there are so many exchanges between major famous universities, and he also heard a little rumor. If Ross can be arched up, the position of vice president is highly likely. This old lady is not as old as Spencer, although she is also a generation of masters, she has not won the Nobel Prize, and her prestige is not so high.

Riding the broken car that ringed everywhere except the bells, and under the admiring gaze of the students, Li Jiaming arrived at the red-roofed Hoover Institution hidden in the trees. Founded by Herbert Hoover in 1919, the Hoover Institution is mainly concerned with the political, economic and social issues of the former Soviet Union and other socialist countries, such as industrial policy, development, science and technology, agriculture, energy, security, and foreign relations. Now that the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact are long gone, the institute has turned to the study of Asia and China.

However, Ross did not come here to study these, but to look up some literature. In addition to being a research institution, the Hoover Institution is also home to one of the world's largest collections of political, economic, and social changes, such as the diaries and letters of Old Man Chiang. When he is usually fine, Li Jiaming also likes to come here to look through the photocopies of Old Man Jiang's diaries and letters, and then compare them with the history education he received before, which is a very interesting thing.
